9.2 Automatic fill-in flash
Some cameras offer the facility of activating automa-
tic fill-in flash control or automatically trigger a fill-in
flash.
Fill-in flash will soften harsh shadows and diminish
the contrast, thereby producing a more balanced
exposure when shooting against the light. The camera's
computer-controlled measuring system automatically
selects the shutter speed, working aperture and light
output in such a manner that both the main subject in
the foreground as well as the background are
uniformly exposed.
